POS Weight Scale
Without the IoT Box.
Connect any USB or serial weight scale directly to Odoo POS - no Raspberry Pi, no IoT Box subscription, no complicated setup. Real-time weight in the native Odoo scale popup, ready to use in seconds.
Odoo's native scale support is slow and hardware-locked.
The standard route for weight scales in Odoo requires an IoT Box - a Raspberry Pi-based device - that adds hardware cost, network complexity, and only works with a limited set of officially supported scales.
🔴 Standard Odoo IoT Box approach
Requires IoT Box hardware (~$150–200 Raspberry Pi + setup)
Only a handful of officially supported scale models
Slow weight capture - adds friction at checkout
IoT Box must be on the same network as POS
Complex IoT module configuration required
🟢 POS Scale Integration by Novator
No IoT Box hardware required - zero extra cost
Works with most USB and serial-port weight scales
Fast, real-time weight display - no delays at checkout
Runs locally on the POS machine
Uses Odoo's native scale popup - zero retraining
Everything your weighing workflow needs.
Built for real retail environments where speed, accuracy, and reliability at the counter matter.
Real-Time Weight Display
Live weight appears instantly in Odoo's native scale popup. No lag, no manual entry - just place the item and read the weight.
USB & Serial Scale Support
Works with scales that connect via USB or serial (COM) port — the most common connection type in commercial weighing equipment.
Native Odoo Scale UI
Uses Odoo's built-in scale screen - the same popup your cashiers already know. No custom interface to learn.
Auto-Apply Weight
Configurable option to automatically apply the stable weight reading - eliminating the manual "confirm" step for even faster throughput.
Kg · G · Lb Units
Supports kilograms, grams, and pounds with configurable decimal precision - adapt to your product catalogue and local requirements.
Connection Monitoring
Automatic disconnect detection with visual indicators. The system shows clear status - connected, warming up, or disconnected - at all times.
Debug Mode
Built-in debug logging for easy troubleshooting during setup or when diagnosing issues with a specific scale model.
to_weigh_with_scale Products
Full support for Odoo's native weight-based product flag - products marked for weighing automatically trigger the scale popup in POS.
Simple Backend Config
All settings - weight unit, precision, auto-apply, timeout - are configurable from the Odoo backend. No code changes needed.
Any business that sells by weight.
From bakeries to bulk grocery - wherever weight determines price, this module removes friction from the checkout process.
Bakeries & Delis
Weigh breads, pastries, and deli cuts directly at the POS counter.
Meat & Fish Counters
Fast, accurate weight at butcher and fishmonger counters.
Grocery & Bulk Stores
Sell nuts, grains, spices, and produce by weight without extra hardware.
Candy & Sweet Shops
Weigh pick-and-mix products seamlessly at the checkout.
Four steps to live weighing in Odoo POS.
The setup is straightforward - install the module, run a small bridge utility on your POS machine, configure, and you're live.
Install the Module
Install pos_scale_integration from the Odoo Apps Store directly into your instance.
Run the Bridge
Start the lightweight bridge utility on your POS machine - it reads weight from the scale's serial/USB port and serves it locally.
Configure in Odoo
Go to POS → Configuration, enable Scale Integration, set your weight unit and preferences. Done in under two minutes.
Weigh at Checkout
Add a weighable product in POS - the scale popup opens, shows live weight, and applies it to the order line automatically.
Early access - get it before it goes live.
